Turning the Rope

To turn the rope, start with your hands down low, make a rainbow over your head. Remember to turn THEN step.

In this video, Kim explains how the jump rope belts work:

White=You are undertaking a new challenge!

Yellow=You are gaining new jump roping skills

Orange=You are continuing to grow and your skills are increasing

Green=You are strengthening and refining skills your skills

Blue=You are continuing to add new jump rope skills to your repertoire

Purple=You are continuing to practice and seek out new jump rope challenges

Red=Your skills are becoming more developed and you are beginning to understand the importance of patience, practice, and hard work

Brown=It's almost time to share your skills with others

Black=Obtaining the black belt is a daunting task. The black belt represents countless retry after retry, until the student is able to complete the necessary skills. A student who has achieved the black belt continues a never-ending process of self-growth acquiring new skills along the way. This student has achieved distinguished skills and is now prepared to help others.
